I am the same boat. I barely eat after and one of my biggest issues during the marathon is my nutrition. I still suck at it, but i switched up a little. I am trying a few things but i have also come to the conclusion that i need to get my fuel from liquid instead of trying to eat gels or stuff. I still bring it with in case i need it but switched to Tailwind for liquid nutrition.This is the lesson I cannot seem to learn haha. I always feel like I have no appetite after endurance events (especially in heat) and then don’t eat and then feel a thousand times worse later. I just need to force it.
The funny part is i have a 12 mile run tomorrow and no extra nutrition to try. Ugh. I do have Tailwind and a new belt since my old belt is very old and starting to bounce a lot. By very old I think i have been using the same one for 10 years so i am sure it lost its stretch.
